Standardized formats that enable businesses to exchange documents electronically, eliminating paper and improving efficiency across global supply chains
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards are the globally recognized guidelines that define how business documents are formatted for seamless exchange between trading partners' computer systems. These standards ensure consistency, accuracy, and efficiency in B2B communications, reducing manual processes and human error.
Developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), X12 is predominantly used in North America. It features three-digit numeric codes for transaction sets like 850 for purchase orders and 810 for invoices. X12 provides standardized formats for various industries including retail, healthcare, logistics, and finance.
EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce, and Transport) was developed by the United Nations and is widely used internationally, especially in Europe and Asia. It uses six-letter codes like ORDERS for purchase orders and INVOIC for invoices, providing a global standard for cross-border trading.
